Family photography in Wembley

  • Included in the session: About an hour in front of the camera, unhurried and patient with little ones, followed by an online gallery; favourites can become fine-art prints, framed pieces or an album.
  • Studio or on location: Either the Northwood studio, which works whatever the weather, or a park or garden within about 20 miles.
  • How far: Wembley is about 6 miles from the Northwood studio as the crow flies, and the studio is two minutes' walk from Northwood Hills station on the Metropolitan line.
  • Booking: Ring or WhatsApp 07956 505383 during opening hours (Monday to Saturday 10:30 to 18:00, Sunday 13:00 to 18:00), or leave your details in the form below.

Family sessions use King Edward VII Park, and households in Preston, Tokyngton and Stonebridge are booked on the same basis and at the same hours of the day. For groups of three generations or more, the park offers room to spread out and somewhere to sit down.

The number that matters is shutter speed. Children in a park are moving whether or not we asked them to, and anything slower than roughly a five-hundredth turns a running child into a blur with a recognisable coat and no recognisable face. We would rather raise the sensitivity and keep the face.

What we offer

Family sessions in Wembley: what is included

01

Paced for children

King Edward VII Park sessions, kept short by design and built around how long small children last.

02

Extended family groups

Grandparents, prams and toddlers all accounted for: level ground, minimal walking, seated frames where standing is unrealistic.

03

Studio or outdoors

Wet weather moves the whole session to the Northwood studio without losing the booking or changing the plan.

Local and experienced

A family session close to home in Wembley

We meet at a park entrance picked for its parking, photograph for roughly forty minutes, and then stop, well before anybody is asked for more patience than they actually have.

Everything is shot in short runs with gaps for snacks and complaints. Rain moves the whole booking indoors to Northwood rather than cancelling it outright. The edited gallery goes out as a single link, shared with whoever in the family wants it, at print resolution and in a smaller version for messaging.

Parks and green space around Wembley for a family session

Below are Wembley parks and landmarks with room for children to wander between photographs, each summarised from its source. Before settling on a park for your family, we would check its access and any photography rules so nothing interrupts the children's time.

  • Wembley Park playpark. Wembley Park's free, fully sheltered all-weather playpark opposite London Designer Outlet is for children under 12, with wooden play structures, slides, swings, twin towers and a climbing frame. 1
  • Wembley Stadium opened in 2007 on the site of the original 1923 stadium; with 90,000 seats it is the largest stadium in the UK, and its Wembley Arch rises 134 m and carries over 75% of the roof load. 2
  • The Wembley Park Art Trail is a free open-air gallery of 26 artworks, including Frank Styles's anamorphic portrait of Freddie Mercury across the Spanish Steps and a Live Aid tile mural on Olympic Way. 3
  • Northwick Park is flat, open parkland with mature trees and sports fields, a children's playground, an outdoor gym and a central pavilion, and Pryors Path runs from the pavilion to Northwick Park Tube station. 4

Good to know

Family Photographer in Wembley, FAQs

The plan is concrete. King Edward VII Park does the work, in the first or last couple of hours of daylight, and the all-generations frame is taken first while everybody is together and still patient. Level ground and short distances mean prams and slower walkers are not left trailing. If the stadium has an event on, we move the date for a Wembley session rather than fight the traffic.

No, and that is perfectly fine. Busy toddlers are welcome, and we would never ask one to sit still on command. We turn it into a game and photograph what happens, which is usually the best of the day.

Yes, and they should. The multi-generation frame ends up printed and posted round the family, so it gets made early instead of held back until people are tired. Practically: we pick an entrance close to parking, keep the walk down to a couple of minutes, and build in seated frames so standing is never the only option. A bench solves most of it.

Yes. King Edward VII Park has open ground wide enough for a row of fifteen or twenty with nobody at the ends drifting out of focus, which no front room in Wembley can offer. Send the headcount and rough ages ahead of the day and we will work out an order that photographs the oldest and the youngest first, while both are willing.

Allow about an hour, longer if the family needs it. Breaks for feeds, naps and cuddles are built in. The children set the pace, not the clock.

A family photographer near Wembley

Wembley, in HA0 and HA9, is about 6 miles from our Northwood studio. It sits close to Brent and Harrow, which we cover too. A family session can be at the studio or in a Wembley park, and travel to Wembley is not charged.

Wembley is one of the main districts of the London Borough of Brent, formed in 1965 from the former boroughs of Wembley and Willesden. Families coming by train can use Wembley Park, on the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines, or Wembley Central, which has the Bakerloo line and the London Overground. For an outdoor session we would suggest King Edward VII Park on Park Lane, open since 4 July 1914, where the wild meadows and winding paths give children space, or Barham Park, which has a walled garden and a small car park.

We did a family photoshoot with our 8 month old daughter and it was such a lovely experience. Kaushik was brilliant with her, so patient and playful, and got so many genuine smiles.
